IN PLACES LAST YEAR
The only one of last year's winners on the first day of the Egmont Summer Meeting who has an engagement to-mor-row is The Tiger.
In last year's three-horse Tokaora Hack Handicap, which has been deleted from this year's card, The Tiger was backed' down to prohibitive odds and he led all the way to shake off Arvada by a neck. The son of Sheffield wjll be matched' against the open sprinters to-morrow, and ii be starts at all decently he will take some catching. One thing against him is nis light weight, for he seems to require a strong horseman to get the best out of him.
Place-fillers last year with engagements to-morrow are ■• Merry Way, Arvada, Shrewd, Monalof, and--Lady Quex:. Merry Way, backed down to favourite, was third in the Juvenile Handicapj-and she is contesting the same race again to-morrow ■with 2%1b less to carry. Arvada, mentioned above, is in the open sprint tomorrow, and bo is Lady Quest, who was beaten only by Laughing Prince last year. The other pair filled the minor places in the Cup, and they are due to run in the Cup' again this year.
